Durning her interview with the Frederick police department, Nickole Atkinson offers to verify her movements on August 12th-13, 2019, via screenshots of her Life360 app.
At the very least, her Life360 movements are confusing and when her interviews with law enforcement are compared to her Life360, it’s become clear that vital information in regard to her movements has not been accounted for.
Nickole’s son had Life360 on his phone and drove her car often and it’s been speculated that the screenshots are a combination of both her and her son’s Life360 apps. and she presented them as HER movements.
If this is the case, it would account for, and help to explain the discrepancies in her testimony vs. the Life360 app.
